The dealmakers. The landlords. The developers. The financiers. The people who make things happen in metro Detroit’s commercial real estate scene. Here’s our selection of the people whose phone numbers you need on your speed dial – and how they play when they play houses and hotels on the Monopoly board at home.

Kevin Dillon

Managing director, Berkadia

Headquarters: Southfield office of Ambler, Pa.-based company

Years in commercial real estate: 31

Why he should be on your speed dial: As the leading investment sales advisor of Berkadia's local office, Dillon is one of the most active multifamily real estate brokers in the region. Most recently, his company fetched $79.5 million for the Riverfront Towers along the Detroit River from a significant New York City real estate investor, but since 2010, he has closed or is under contract to close $1.05 billion in multifamily deals with more than 21,500 units.
